which spell was released right now that made king tide stronger ?
your logic makes zero sense why are you comparing a spell changing the cost of the entire deck for the rest of the game to a temporary change like king tide ?
you seems to have forgotten pocket galaxy was buffed to 5 mana…
Yeah… While Skyla is definitely an extra way to high roll, and basically doubled the consistency of early big spells, another thing going on here is that mages are now ALSO using watercolor artist to draw and discount tsunami even when they don’t high roll cast it early. That still comes down on turn 6 or 7, and the Conman follow up is just crushing against many decks.
I’m personally still not a fan of Surfalopod or Under the sea due to deck building restrictions, but watercolor artist was super slept on prior to Skyla.
i literally just did this, 3 tsunami in a row
thats sometihng i noticed a long time ago
people in this game seems to not understand how strong tutor cards like watercolor artist can be
Are you high…
Luna changed cost of minions and ONLY minions.
What i has saying is that your argument is poor at best, we had cards in Mage that mana cheat untouched sometimes for over a year(and later nerfed to hell).
That doesnt make them immune to balance changes.
I forgot it so much i dont shut up about it on this forums lmao, i doubt theres anyone on this forums with more posts about this card history.
i got beat by a fatigue warlock
it was crazy but they did have the perfect hand and draw
minions in your deck
and you claim it was “fine” … the card had a huge impact in the meta from the moment it changed to 5 mana !!
and they changed it back the first balance patch they released after the buffs
king tide didnt had such an impact starting on its release
Pocket Galaxy had 0 impact on release, Incanter’s Flow was fine for a YEAR and spell that reduced the mana cost of ALL cards in the deck of no Minion Mage.
Incanters Flow ended up at 4 mana, King Tide is an auto win in a mirror if you go first and play it on turn 4.
Impossible to recover from that, if you think they arent looking at that oh boy.
Off course they avoid nerfs to legendary and new cards as much as possible.
But this is Mage land and the nerfs are like damocles sword.
This is also untrue the card was fine at 5 mana until the new expansion came out.
Go back to the date when they buffed the card and see no one cared.
uh isnt that a bad play ? so far ive been winnning all games after my opponetn allowed me to play my tsunami for 5 mana
Also important to not that they actively said during the nerf that they considered 6 mana BUT prefered to be sure it would be killed rather than have it still popular.
You know. How dare you let people play BLUE cards because they like ?
That can only happen to Highlander warrior.
If you are going first your opponent can’t use your king tide effect on 4, nor can they coin into a Skyla play.
It’s very bad to use it on 4 going second against the mirror.
If you go first and play King Tide on 4 next turn your opponent doesn get to play any Big Spells or coin into Skyla(or do anything relevant).
They have a dead turn and you demolish them right after, its curtains after that.
I love the part they said that to every Mage player face and we just toke it lmao.
Bunch of stockholm syndrome idiots we all are.
Unless your opponent already used his First.
Then you can atleast Go for value.
Will not necessarilly Win but is probably the best counter measure you can Hope for.
Then you pray that you can cast more tsunamis than him.
The true counter to your opponent using a turn 4 king tide going first is either neophyte or totem stomper to just shut down that mana cheat entirely.
But that assumes you have it ready by then.
or be me and have a frost plague go off
Lol yep, that’ll also do it.
Good ol’ frost plague, never fails.
33% of the time, it works every time
all depends on conman
not king tide i may be able to make a comeback after that play (havent seen it done to me yet )
but conmans after it …ouch for what ive seen on this thread you are waaay to focused on king tide
i think what make the deck stronger isnt king tide
instead all the cards they buffed on the last patch are
tsunami
watercolor artist
conman
if king tide gets nerfed that wouldnt impact the deck and probably go unnoticed
but reverting watercolor artist and conman buffs would hit the deck hard !
